OK Debian-laptoppers. I know you think our friend Adam is a troll. But maybe not. Look. He likes Debian:

Adam: It's ok. You don't have to use Debian on your laptop, or Debian, or Linux, if you don't want to. I imagine the time you've spent on the defensive here is worth over the $50.00 you refered to. For the most part, the ones most welcome in the community are the ones most willing to contribute -- your complaints don't count as "contribution". So, spend the money and get an OS you're happier with, and chill on comp.os.w95 or wherever it is like-minded folks hang out. Will
